It is with profound sadness that we share our final farewell today to our beloved Athletic Director, Matt Stone. His passing is a tremendous loss to the entire school community, and he will be deeply missed by all who had the privilege of knowing and working with him.
Mr. Stone was widely respected not only for his leadership within athletics, but also for the kindness, encouragement, and steady support he extended across all areas of student life. He was a genuinely good person who led with integrity, humility, and care for others. His impact reached far beyond the field and the administrative office.
In particular, Mr. Stone was a strong and consistent supporter of the music department and the school band. His encouragement and willingness to engage with programs outside of athletics reflected his belief in the importance of a well-rounded student experience. He valued student achievement in all forms and made it a priority to support initiatives that helped students grow, express themselves, and succeed.
Colleagues remember him as approachable, dependable, and always willing to lend a helping hand. Students and staff alike appreciated his positive presence, his encouragement, and the respect he showed to everyone he encountered. His leadership helped foster a sense of unity and school pride that will continue to be felt long after his passing.
As we mourn his loss, we also honor the legacy he leaves behind—a legacy of service, support, and dedication to students and staff alike. Our thoughts and heartfelt condolences are with his family, friends, colleagues, former players, and all students whose lives he touched.
He will be remembered with great respect and gratitude, and his absence will be deeply felt throughout the school community.
